Makhachev Comments on Garry's Reception at UFC 330 Press Conference
Islam Makhachev commented on Ian Machado Garry's reception at the UFC 330 press conference in Philadelphia, where Garry was met with relentless boos from the audience.
As Garry spoke, the crowd reacted negatively, prompting him to predict a change in sentiment after he wins the title on Saturday. Makhachev, who received cheers during his remarks, expressed his lack of surprise at the crowd's reaction, stating that many are confused about Garry's national representation.
Garry attempted to downplay the hostility, emphasizing his excitement about competing for a world title. However, when he referenced the legacy of Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, Makhachev interrupted him. The upcoming fight will mark Makhachev's first title defense in the welterweight division and could see him break Anderson Silva's record with a 17th consecutive win.
